Do you have specific criteria for giving men your free time and even heck your phone number? You say you gave to like them but what else are you looking at besides attraction and good looks and them going to concerts? Does the new ban have career? Education? Looking for commitment? Has kids? Is divorced (stil married?). What are his moral values? what else do you look into besides some of the surface things?

If you date because you are lonely, you might need to look for other things to keep busy. In my opinion you still need to be focused on building your independence and moving out and making money, not worrying about dates.

What’s concerning is that you have two heartbreaks within few months, albeit with someone else in between and now are dating this guy. It’s 4th man in short period of time. It’s concerning. The point isn’t that they all want you. Men want women all the time.

The point is why do you have to go with and eventually get involved with everyone who asks? What does your therapist say?
You are misunderstanding the situation. I just wrote that I do not respond to everyone who is interested OR just anyone who asks for my number. I do not respond to every male who is interested in me. It has to be mutual. OR I have to be interested in a friendship.

This guy and I are not dating. He is not the fourth. He is potentially a third.

I have made it clear to him that I am not ready to date and that I just want friendship right now.

I am focusing on my life. I am focusing on getting an apt and on my new job. This guy and I are talking a lot, but I am taking time to myself too.

He knows I am getting over my past two relationships. I have told him this. Anyways, we're not dating, but he's interested in me. He's made that clear. And I've made it clear where I stand too.

I am talking to my therapist again on Tuesday..... she doesn't know yet about the new guy friend.

I do have criteria now... esp after my disaster with my ex fiance. He def. has to be gainfully employed, stable, respectful of women, and so much more.
